car won't start
Here's the story summed up...
Got gas to make it home bout 2 gallons worth at a marathon station. Biggest mistake of my life. They were selling water instead of gas and you know what happens next.
Pumped the water out and put water remover that dillutes it. Also put 5 gallons of gas in maybe to dilute it even more. Car still won't fire up. Keeps clicking but doesn't ignite. Changed spark plugs with new ngks and I noticed it only sparks one time out of 8 secs. I had the AEM ems system and changed it back to my stock ecu and same ending. What should I do.
Thanks
Roger

File an insurance claim on the gas station (if you find any kind of major damage)? You payed for gas , they supplied water , your car is broken . End of story . This happened a few years back in our area and several vehicles never made it home . If they sold you water , they need to repair your car . File ASAP so you can have your towing and repairs covered . Hard to say what kinda damage you suffered , but I do know you shouldn't be paying for it . Good luck .

Have you checked your distributor? It could just be the cap try taking it out and cleaning it if not than get a new one from Honda or Advance auto..

Compression is fine. Only problem JSKI that it happened alil over a month ago. and didnt realize it till 2.5 weeks later. I dont have a reciept or any envidence showing I went there. But I do have a reciept from a shop down the street from them where I was at before I purchased my gas.

Good question. I asked the same thing. I heard though the mofo took the money after 2 weks of pumpin shit water and left the country. Nobody can reach him. I'm gonna be doing a diagnotic check. And hopefully it will tell me what's wrong. I'm hoping maybe a bad sensor.
